Hi,
  To start out with, when you run VMD in a non-graphical mode,
you would need to use the following command to load the plugin:
  package require inorganicbuilder

That is (coincidentally) done already when running in graphical mode,
but not in non-graphical mode, as a side effect of how GUI plugins get
registered in the menus when VMD starts up. In general, you should
always use "package require" commands to ensure correct operation.

I don't know to what extent the inorganic builder plugin works
when running without the GUI, but you will soon find out.

Best regards,
  John Stone
